Jack Lynch and David Thompson from Swimming Pool Services were present before
the board.
The applicants clarified that they will be just pulling down a 12 foot section of the fence
so that equipment could go through and putting the fence back up. Mr. Thompson
stated that Mr. Griffiths had indicated that if they were removing the fence they had to
replace it with something that met current ordinances. The existing fence is chainlink.

Thompson stated that it is probably less than 10%. Mr. Thompson also stated that you
cannot see the fence from the road.
Mr. Olson stated that he believed they could just put the existing fence back up after the
work has been completed. Mr. Lynch reiterated that they are only removing the section
so that they could get equipment to the pool and patio area.
Mr. Matola read through the fence ordinance and stated that since the fence could be
reused that he did not believe it would be considered a repair or replacement. After
some discussion the board agreed that the fence did not need to be replaced with new
materials as the existing fence was going to be reused.
Mr. Domaszek questioned the impervious surface area calculation and asked the
applicant for clarification on the drawings. Mr. Thompson stated that there were parts of
the drawing that he added by hand by that everything was included correctly in the
impervious surface calculations.

said no. Mr. Liechty then stated that the wooden deck area is not considered
impervious so the calculations are most likely correct. Mr. Olson added that the
impervious surface review is done by the Village staff.
Mr. Matola asked for clarification on what the board was reviewing and approving. Mr.
Thompson stated that the pool location is changing slightly and it will be smaller than
the existing pool. Mr. Olson said that the board will need to approve the pool
replacement.
Mr. Liechty motioned and Mr. Schoenecker seconded to approve plans as submitted on
the condition that the applicants replace the fence with the existing material in the same
location. Motion carried 8-0.
